Testimonial for Daniella Nowicki
?
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude for having Daniella in my corner during my labor&deliveries.
Although the first l&d Daniella attended was uneventful, she&my husband took turns giving me encouragement. Daniella really shined during the l&d of my youngest son. She saw my needs even though I was unable to communicate them. Soon as my water broke my temperature rose rapidly. Daniella effectively communicated w/ hospital staff I was experiencing complications.He was delivered vaginally despite the complication, but I don't think I would've survived wo Daniella's talent&experience.When I finally came to, I was informed I delivered a baby boy&we were both being treated for chorioamnionitis w/ iv antibiotics. My midwife was so seriously impressed w/ Daniella's capabilities. She literally sang Daniella's praises, saying how lucky I was to have her&"everyone should have a Daniella." At my post partum physical it was discovered I broke my pelvis.I became pregnant again&right away I began experiencing SPD.Even though my midwife wouldn't be attending the delivery Daniella's familiarity&presence eased my anxieties&gave me confidence I was strong enough to give birth again.Things came fast&furious, but slowed down after the epidural. Daniella suggested I rest&less than 40 minutes later I woke to intense pressure.W/ a couple of pushes I delivered my daughter's head & hand sunny side up.I pushed a few more times&made no progress. The midwife decided to perform the McRobert's Maneuver. Daniella&a nurse worked together to rotate my hips by pushing&holding my legs up by my ears. My daughter was delivered w/ the next push. If it wasn't for Daniella's verbal & physical support I surely would have been traumatized.Having Daniella as a doula&an advocate will enhance & ensure your own experience is everything you want it to be.
